This morning I’ve been doing some research in to Barack Obama’s use of social media both in the primaries and the election-proper and was about to Twitter my iritation that every single blogger ever (and this is in no way an exaggeration) has blogged on Obama’s use of social media. I decided not to rant at the Twitter-verse, however, and instead decided to carry myself with a little more decorum.
Decorum, however, was thrown out of the windown when, to my surprise, I googled ‘Obama social media’ and saw this:

Consumers can purchase a specially-marked carton of an innocent smoothie and enter the unique code onto the campaign web site — for each code entered, innocent will plant a tree in rural Africa or India on the consumer’s behalf. Participants can keep track of their trees online, and share their progress with widgets and badges.
